WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE is the one for 3D look. Are you sure that it is not being removed somehow?

Run Spy++ and use the window finder to select the control, then look under the Styles tab - extended styles list to see if WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE is listed.

WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE is an extended style, not a regular style, so it can not be used with the other styles you listed.

Use the CreateEx function to create your edit control

MyEdit.CreateEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,
                _T("EDIT"),
                NULL,
                WS_CHILD | WS_BORDER | WS_VISIBLE | ES_LEFT,
                &Rect,
                pParentWnd,
                nID,
                NULL);

See CWnd::CreateEx in MSDN for more info.

Loading Dll and calling class's methods

Hi,

I'm quiet arrived...
I know how to load a Dll with LoadLibrary, and how to get a pointer function with GetProcAddress. And this, between Borland C++ Builder and Visual C++.
I know, with Borland only, how to return a class's pointer in an extern function (the pointer of the fonction is obtained by GetProcAddress). Then, I can call the class methods in the Dll loaded by loadlibrary.
But in visual, for the moment, i don't arrive to do the same ...

Thanks if you've a sample for instance ! Cool | :cool:

You could use the same principle as COM works: you have a function that will instantiate the object for you:

void GetObject(YourClass* & pInstance);

Your pointer is passed by reference that means the function won't make a copy of it so if you make a new, you will get the new adress in your program. Inside that function, you can then create your class (with new).

One really important thing is that you have to be carefull with memorory deletion: you cannot delete this object in your program !! It has to be freed in the DLL itselfs ('cause it has been allocated in the DLL memory). The best way to delete the object is to add a function for doing that:

void YourClass::Destroy()<br />
{<br />
  delete this;<br />
}

Hope this helps

Thanks ! But I have one more problem (easyer for you ..) How tell (declare in a header ".h") to the linker that the reference of pInstance->MyMethod isn't to resolved in a ".lib" ??? - Damned visual I'm new in visual C++ lol -

Thanks again, Cool | :cool:

From what I know, you cannot. The compiler needs to know if the function you are calling is included in the file.

One solution to overcome the problem of including both the *.h and the *.cpp files in your project is to use an interface for your class: you just make your class inherits from a pure abstract class (a class that has no member variables and whose functions needs to be redefined in the child class). Something like:

class MyInterface<br />
{<br />
   // Constructor + Destructor<br />
<br />
   void Method1() = 0;<br />
   void Method2() = 0;<br />
   ....<br />
}

And in a separate file, you define your class that inherits of MyInterface:

class MyClass : public MyInterface<br />
{<br />
   void Method1();<br />
   void Method2();<br />
}

And the functions arre defined in the cpp file of the class.

So like that you only need to provide the .h file of the interface to your program and your program will only use a pointer to the interface. But inside the dll, when you create the pointer, you create in fact the child class.

Hope this helps

There is a function that checks for white space in a string called
isspace(int nTest)

Is there a similiar type function that looks for a "\n"?

I am trying to insert a \r before every instance of \n in an std::string

isspace tests for spaces (' '), tabs ('\t') and new lines ('\n')...

why not using std::string::replace("\n", "\r\n") ?

That sounds like what i need. Was not aware of that.

What would the syntax look like for this?

I have

std::string Response;
//Response has large amount of text with many "\n"'s

Response.replace ("\n","\r\n"); i get an error 2661 on this line
//The above line should parse throuh and replace all occurrances of \n with \r\n right.

I need to load custom data to Analysis Server (MS-OLAP) without going through any OLE DB

Hello,

I am developing an application where I need to load custom data to Analysis Server (MS-OLAP) without going through any OLE DB Provider.
I am able to load data into dimensions/cubes using Microsoft OLE DB provider for ODBC Drivers. But my requirement is loading data at runtime from a buffer. Is there any way to do this? Are there any APIs which can help me to load this data directly?

Thanks & regards,

DirectX SDK impact on performances

2-Sep-05 2:18

Hi,

I am thinking about installing DirectX9 SDK, but I am affraid about the performance impact.
I suppose the SDK comme will some "debug feature enabled" versions of DirectX libs.
Will those libs be used by commercial applications (i.e. games) instead of the normal end user ones and will it impact speed or stability ?

I am using Visual C++ 6.0 (SP6) on XP Home SP2.

Thanks for your advices/tips,
Th.

After checking, it seems that you have a choice in DirectX control panel applet to use retail or debug versions.

Be aware that there are settings for many modules (Direct Input, D3D, ...).

But... (you'll hate me Poke tongue | ;-P

) after setting everything to "retail" I ran DiagFX whichfire me a warning about the fact I used a lib (only one) indebug mode and that it may be slower...

My advice: Use a different computer for coding and playing
Beside your issue, it is always tempting to use beta untested features on a development computer, and most very optimised games do not like this !

Good luck,
Eric
